Making sure how to test new RV outlets.
I'm having 400A service and RV outlets installed on a piece of property we bought in Washington. There will be three outlet boxes installed like you find at most RV parks with 1ea 50A, 1ea 30A 2ea 20...

Can't offer you advice on testing BUT:
It is real good to hear you are going to TEST them before using them.
I sound like a broken record but I too 'hired and electrician' to put my shore station pedestal in on my property. I explicitly showed him what 30 amp RV outlet to use and that it was not 220.
I came home from a trip late at night after it was installed and just plugged in. Boom. $3,000 in damage to the MH. He wired it wrong.
So kudos for taking the initiative to test first even if you hire an 'electrician', and hopefully other forum members reading this will do the same and avoid a costly mistake.
